Sponsor a Topic Challenge: Your Problem, Solved

As in years past, corporations or law firms can sponsor a topic challenge. Sponsoring a challenge represents a unique opportunity for an organization, corporation, or firm to have a real or anticipated issue researched, analyzed, and creatively solved by a team of the world’s top law and business students, entrepreneurs, academics, and lawyers. The issue could be one that the sponsor’s business or industry is facing, or it could be one that is in line with the sponsor’s corporate social responsibility endeavors or pro bono commitment. The sponsor has wide discretion in selecting a topic.
